After the first ever joint NVSMW (since 1976) & ICMTD (since 2006) helded on May 18th -22nd, 2008 in Opio, France, both conferences have decided to merge together to create the International Memory Workshop.

The key initiatives for the new conference format will be:

Workshop Spirit – Continue with the workshop atmosphere to enable participants to interact and mingle openly.
Non Volatile & Volatile – Need to advertise to our colleagues about the increased scope of the conference and attract more Volatile interest.

The 1st IEEE International Memory Workshop (IMW) will be held on May 10th – 14th, 2009 at the Hyatt in Monterey, California. The workshop is sponsored by the IEEE Electron Devices Society.

The IMW is a unique forum for specialists in all aspects of nonvolatile memory microelectronics and people with different backgrounds who wish to gain a better understanding of the field. The morning and afternoon technical sessions are organized in a manner to provide ample time for informal exchanges amongst presenters and attendees. The evening panel discussions will address hot topics in the nonvolatile field.

Papers are solicited in the aspects of nonvolatile semiconductor memory technology, including:
